This is intelligent design.

Yes, they intelligently designed an experiment that tested how complexity can and does arise *without* the intervention of intelligent design.

Your point? If you had one?

Sigh -- someday I hope to see "intelligent response".

Nonsense. They concocted a program that would do what they wanted to do. Anyone can do that. A program can only be called a valid simulation if it behaves in the same way that the thing being simulated does AND takes into consideration all the relevant factors of the situation.

This program fails as a simulation on two counts:

1. It is totally impossible to simulate all the factors involved in living things and their environment. The program must therefore had to have been selective in what it chose to simulate. Therefore it is not a simulation of real life.

2. As I already pointed out, by evolutionist's own admission:

It's a truism of entomology (been demonstrated in sealed mason jars thousands of times) that when two nearly identical species occupy nearly the same contained biological nitche, one or the other will eventually prevail entirely, no matter how tiny its differential advantage.

that fitness cost is very important to evolution. The program did not exact a fitness cost for non-working functions. This makes the program total bunk.

Furthermore, as I have said, with so many experiments going on all the time, so much money poured into biology not just by the US Government, but by private foundations, medical firms, drug firms, hospitals in the US and throughout the world - why is there a need for a program to prove that evolution is science? If it were science the proof would be coming out on a daily basis from all the scientific research going on.
